I know exactly what she means. If a woman is freaking out she does not want a male partner that freaks out even MORE. She does not want a guy who will emulate her emotional state in an attempt to please her or show he sympathizes with her.

This is why I posted my stories Sonya. I am always trying to learn how to handle things better and I feel that most of the people in this forum are open-minded and fairly level
and
I actually was stronger this time, but it did still hurt immensely. This girlfriend though was not put off by the fact that I cried though either, I actually think she took it more of a show of how strongly I felt about her and the possibility of us having a child together.

SoulOrb I am not sure where this "overly sensitive" idea came up. You don't sound overly sensitive at all. You sounds defensive and VERY hostile. You have attacked most of the posters that replied to your thread with extreme sarcasm and overt aggression.
That is hostility. People may try to be nice and tell you that you are "too sensitive" but that is just their way of saying you behave in an overly aggressive, defensive manner.

Sir,
I say again, wearing one's heart on their sleeve is simply a statement of emotional transparency. Meaning that it refers to the fact that one is not private about how they feel.

The fact of one being "over-sensitive" has nothing to do with wearing one's heart on their sleeve. You could very well be "over-sensitive" as you put it, and be completely private about that.

Now however, I'm not very sensitive in some situations. Although very empathic, my indifference to what others do stems from a great sense of my own authority.

Everyone is sensitive in our own unique ways, but it is all shared and expressed everywhere we go. I can only see this is as the most wonderful gift we have, the sheer possibilities for real learning. In a site like ATS, there is incredible potential for such profound understanding.

So when I see this post, basically you are saying he is lacking in being a man, because a man to you is a rock, and a person who is capable of stuffing his own emotions in order to be there for his female partner, and that she was justified in dumping him for a new partner later because he is basically too wimpy.

I have to disagree with you. When something tragic happens, people want someone they can lean on to tell them everything will be ok even if it isn't true.

Well I agree this is true for many women.
Another one I have is that a partner cannot do my laundry, and they do not get to critique my clothing before I go out, so you might see why I am single. :-)
Originally posted by JennaDo you make it a habit to go to nice places with ripped, dirty, oil-covered clothing that's full of holes? If you do, you might want to re-examine your no critiquing rule. Other than that you should be ok.

Example "false sense of over enlightenment"? Was the word enlightenment in my video? Did I say I was Enlightened? In fact I do not even believe in enlightenment.
Maybe you felt I was saying I was being superior to you, or others.
And 21, wow, yeah, I mean young adults these days are miles ahead us people in my generation, and much more involved, of course today there is technology to do it more, and I was sort of always involved, but you know, not sure I would where you are. I had an email then, but no one to talk with, I was one of the few people in my Country.
However if you look at the your post, you are very defensive and I do not recall attacking you, maybe challenged you to say more
If you do not trust me, it is your problem, I do not pursue anyone, they just find me and like to talk with me.
I just can't be responsible for your perceptions any more than for my sons and his insecurities. He gets flipped out because this girl he knows likes older guys and he thinks I would take advantage of her. I said, honestly, it is all in your mind, I can get my own chicks thanks idea.
So, look, I can see what you are saying, I am in no way being judgemental, and I am saying simply you should be allowed to write about your life, or you decide to tell the world a deep dark secret on this forum, not to be MURDERED in some other persons words who send me a message offline for expressing your opinion.
And that is what the video is about, and I fail to see why the spirit of the video is about that and you are so irritated.
Creating an environment where you can be yourself, without being razed to the core, which I have never done here, and I could if I wanted to, but honestly, it is just not me. And as for the Ego you suggested, it is assurance, not Ego, there is a difference. Assured behavior is knowing your direction, Ego is when you think you are the direction.

I can see that you mean well, but I still think you should step back and read your posts because many are way more defensive than any of mine.
Many times I am not defending to what is written, I get a whole packet of information with your post, only only part of which I can trust.
Hope you did well with your exams.
